ANNUAL HOLIDAY LECTURE: 3:00 P.M., WWH 109 Physics of Toys
Tadashi Tokieda, Cambridge University
Abstract:
Look carefully at many toys and you will find that they rely on
interesting physics. I will show a number of simple toys that have intrigued
me, both for the fun they bring and for the complex physical and mathematical
principles underlying them. The main theme is the effects of friction and of
nonholonomic constraints. I hope that the lecture will be nontrivial for
seasoned scientists and entertaining for young children.
